Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.5
What ethical concern might arise from using only senior citizens in a study examining depression?
This could lead to sampling bias undermining the generalizability of results across different age groups.
There would be no valid control group available if only seniors are used as subjects.
Senior citizens are less likely to understand and participate fully in the study process.
The costs associated with working with older adults could become prohibitive for some researchers.
